I feel that we are the Sahibzaadey. We are Guru Gobind Singh Ji's children- we've gotta be like Baba Fateh Singh Ji, Baba Deep Singh Ji, Bhai Mati Daas Ji- in character & values. We are to keep this panth going.... We are to put out the fire of the Kalyug- or at least put a cap to our Kalyugi desires. We need to realize that we constitute the mass mentality that makes Kalyug possible- we indulge in desires- we are the ones who make Kalyug the way it is. We need to change ourselves & become more like the children of Our Pita Ji Sri Akaal Purakh Di Jot- Nanak Guru Gobind Singh Ji <3.

I feel that God does not discriminate. If we can meditate and do bani Abhyaas with a 100% true devotion, then we will see that we are the Sahibzaadey, the Guru's Chela, the Guru, the universe, the divine light. God wouldn't have been discriminative between one soul & the other- God loves us perfectly.... and absolutely alike.

I feel that the word Vaheguru has unlimited power. It can change the absolute fundamental being out of us. Within days of chanting continuously & dedicatedly- it can raise your vibration- change your consciousness- your projection- in fact your life ever so completely. There's something magical about this....

I feel that we all have our own unique paths- each one of us. I accept & respect all for being able to stand strong, somewhere along their own paths.

I feel that our souls are crying & pleading to Pita Ji. They want liberation from the cycles of the 8.4 million lives & deaths. We've had enough. Considering that we are souls- a part of the divine, I feel that we are longing- constantly longing to get out of the bondage of these different bodies that we take on. To me Bando Chodd is about merging back in the divine light. When Pita Ji, in the 6th form- Guru Hargobind Sahib Ji Maharaaj came to the rescue of the 52 kings...We here are like souls crying for liberation & merger with the divine light. I personally have felt so sad & empty inside without Pita Ji, at times when I do fall off the track & go astray. Its painful... so utterly painful, that we long and crave and cry and beg for Pita Ji's Charan Kamal. And in our daily life, we struggle, we need to struggle every breath to feel Pita Ji's presence, sometimes it is unbearable to live without feeling His Charan Kamal within our hearts & His Charan Kamal which we live upon.

I wish (myself & for you all) to reside upon Pita Ji's Charan Kamal every breath of our lives, death & beyond. I (my soul) feel(s) sick & trapped in this body & in the cycle of 8.4 million. I pray that we dwell upon Pita Ji's Charan Kamal (both in the houses of our hearts/ minds & as our physical bodily home), serve His being & exalt ourselves- so we are set free from this bondage. Vaheguru <3 Mere Sahib Bandi Moch <3 <3 <3

Okay, I'm a bit sick today, so I guess I'll go to sleep now, Hopefully at Pits Ji's Charan Kamal & perhaps His Niggi Godh =P.I wanna re-decorate my room this Bandi Chodd divas (/Divali) - dunno why, but I feel that I've ignored it for a really long time- just b/c I've not had the privilege to pick some stuff that I live with. But now, I'll be my creative self & embrace whatever I have like a Sahibzaadee =) *I am not so fond of the term princess- Sahibzaadee makes me feel more connected to Pita Ji Maharaaj <3 **** Parts of this post are inspired by last weeks Bandi Chodd Divas presentation at the Guru Nanak Academy http://www.gurunanakacademy.com/ ***Wahgeuru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh =)PS. Wanna meditate/ chant / dive deeper into your consciousness? I have a few suggestions:1) Meditate- just reconnect with yourself (Pritahm Bhagauti), and then visualize Guru Ji's Charan Kamal with your imagination- slowly but certainly you will develop a relationship with Pita Ji <3. You could do the same by letting yourself imagine the lives of the Gurus or the gursikh/ playing in your head the saakhis from the history....Maybe even do my favourite thing- read Gurbani & do an Ardaas, then BELIEVE that Pita Ji resides within you & you reside (physically- literally) upon His Charan Kamal *this is life changing- take it from me ;)2) Here are some of my favourite things to Chants form the Akaal Ustat: (Chant for 10 minutes either in the solitude of your room, while relaxed breathing or just chant all day while you are out & about.) Chant with all you've got- mind, body & words. You will fall in one with everything as you open yourself up to the consciousness that God is all around you- Guru Ji is all you see in His Creation =)ਈਹਾਂ ਹਰੀ ॥ ਉਹਾਂ ਹਰੀ ॥ ਜਿਮੀ ਹਰੀ ॥ ਜਮਾ ਹਰੀ ॥੩॥੫੩॥The Lord is in here. The Lord is there. The Lord is in the earth. The Lord is in the sky. ਭਜੋ ਹਰੀ ॥ ਥਪੋ ਹਰੀ ॥ ਤਪੋ ਹਰੀ ॥ ਜਪੋ ਹਰੀ ॥੧੨॥੬੨॥Meditate on the Lord. Worship the Lord. Perform devotion for the Lord. Repeat the Name of the lord. 12.62.*Love & light* <3 *Hugs & Prayers*

Vaheguru <3
WJKK WJKF =]
Sometimes we worry, and think that our inadequacies, our faults, our attachment to vakaars & actions under the influence of Maaya come between Guru Ji and us. But the truth is that nothing & no one can come between our relationship with our Khasam. I'm an internal optimist, but a worrywart, sometimes I worry that Pita Ji will hate me to eternity if I make mistakes...
And, I have made mistakes- BIG ones, repeatedly, over and over again... sometimes even knowingly... but I see that Pita Ji has always stood right by me, to embrace me once I realized how disgusting my actions were. Pita Ji is crazily AMAZING. He loves us infinitely.
He shall never ever ever let go of us... He shall never ever ever ever leave our hand~
Here's a question (if you'd like to help me out!): Am I dreaming that Pita Ji repeatedly forgives me and embraces me??? I just think that if He blesses my swaas (prana/ breaths) with naam or gurbani recitation or veechaar, then that means that He's not letting go of me... is that right, or even sinful people who are struck with heavy misfortune, are blessed with gurbani? I dunno!
Anyways, here's is what Pita Ji told me tonight at the end of my raul (so maybe not the hukamnammah, but a bit of a conclusion to my day):

Vaheguru Ji <3Its Thanksgiving & I am soooo thankful =). I am ever-so-grateful to everything in the universe, which has brought me here- to what I am today, where I am and how I am facing my reality. And not just that which is related to my evolution, but I am brimming with gratitude for Pita Ji & every fragment of His creation...You know, what really intrigues me.... now-a-days the universe does everything to me, I don't need to do anything. Its like I have surrendered unto Pita Ji's will & everything has started to come together. Not that I don't have financial or academic or relationship or spiritual or other troubles, to be honest I have worse troubles than ever before... But there's just something, some buffer within me that has been so profound; I just can't contemplate the beauty of my experiences in every moment of consciousness-One day, I'm so grumpy that I ignore Pita Ji- I ignore my nitnem, and am listening to random Kirtan on my iPod, in the bus- a Shabad that I don't understand a word of- and without even explicitly trying too much to meditate- I am blessed with the vision & feeling of my Pita Ji's Charan Kamal. Then one night, I'm stuck in Moh (attachment) of a friend, and I'm missing her like no tomorrow, not bothered that I have Guru Ji Ang Sang with me in this moment.... and I suddenly feel so motivated to sit & literally meditate my night away (I didn't really do it though), even if I didn't bother to do my nitnem that day.There's just so much liberation in surrender, and for that I am grateful, for I know, that only at the true Guru's Charan Kamal I would've felt this! I've wandered, longed, struggled, and "Window shopped" my way through so many faiths, so many religious disciplines (which were all absolutely perfect). Never was I able to give all I've got to any other. There must have been a reason!My soul really only surrendered at my Pita Ji's charan Kamal <3 and I am so grateful for that!Like Steve Jobs said, Never settle, keep looking; until you find that what you know for sure is 'your thing'... that which you are just meant to be, to do.Interestingly, right now, I'm standing on a cross-road in terms of my career, academia, relationships, and so many more things. For most of those things, I just keep looking, keep exploring and savouring each moment as it comes... truly enjoying myself, as the tides stride through me, my situations, my circumstances, without worrying about what they give me as they come, or what they rob me off as they leave my shore. I do not worry if I wanna go to medical school or finish my degree and go for social work or epidemiology... I never think that I need to work on my relationship with my mom or my family or find my Singh Charming (in fact I might just rule out that dream of mine =P)....I've just always thought that my relationship with Guru Ji needs me to make some more effort or needs some more time-input.I just know that Pita Ji is with me, and within me... and He'll take care of everything ELSE, and who cares if things aren't perfect....I've never prayed for anything but Pita Ji's Charan Kamal. I've never longed for anything but Pita Ji's Charan Kamal. And I've never cried for real, for anything but Pita Ji's godh (lap).A few nights ago, I think I had an argument with my mother or something (can't quite remember what made me feel so vulnerable and uptight), but I came to my room crying and I sat on my bed for Kirtan Sohila. And I didn't recite the prayer at all, I think most of the night, I was crying and asking Pita Ji to come to my rescue, like a little restless baby, I kept saying "Pita Ji come to my rescue, Pita Ji come to my rescue", until I fell asleep.See, I long for this dude, big time! I long for Guru Ji. He's my soul mate! I can't believe I was facing the outrageous world without Him most of my life (& my crazy teens =P)! Gosh I'm so grateful for Pita Ji and this state of surrender that He has brought me to. I'm so grateful.Oh and this is not to say that I am amazingly perfect Bhagat (disciple) of Pita Ji. I do stupid things all the time. But I guess I am grateful for the mistakes I've made, cause they've taught me soooo much...they've indirectly lead me here =P, right?Vaheguru <3

Wow! this post got so emotional ='PI'm gonna need to go, its past midnight now =O

Ok, one last (But MOST important) thing, Here's a super amazing Shabad I've been meditating on lately (check it out for sure):

Sunday, October 2, 2011

Initially, someone told me, always embark upon a good thought that comes into your mind, cause we usually do not think twice before doing something bad. Well, I was thinking of doing something good, but now I'm chickening out. So in a state of Dubidha (Delusion), I am desperately trying to see what Pita Ji would want me to do =P AND I can't quite decipher what to do from Hukamnammahs and stuff. So I guess i'll just go to sleep and hope that Guru Ji- my Pita Ji gives me the courage to face my situations, in the best possible way. =P

The other thing is that, I always tell Pita Ji to hold my finger like that of a toddler, and direct me to what He deems right for me. So lets see where He takes me tomorrow morning!

I hope you are all in a comfortable spot within yourselves tonight.

One thing that I have been noticing, is that our lives are a constant battle, we therefore live in the battlefields, and Pita Ji actually has prepared us all so well, and I love how realistic our path is, how realistically Pita Ji portrayed a Sikh's life, in the various Saakhiyaa(n) we know and hear from the Sikh History. hmmm...Interesting!

Here's a video I found tonight that I'd like to share with you all. Enjoy =)

Love & light

When you meet anyone, remember it is a holy encounter. As you see him, you will see yourself. As you treat him, you will treat yourself. As you think of him, you will think of yourself. Never forget this, for in him you will find yourself or lose yourself.~A Course in Miracles

Learn to detach from people’s personalities, pettiness, or little faults. Focus instead on their greatness and you will experience more of it. Non-attachment is loving people as they are and finding the right moment to insert a thought, a touch, or love into their lives to empower them to make a shift to a higher level of consciousness.
